He forwarded a document pledging himself not to interfere with them and to forget the past. The refugees did not feel this promise was enough, and they wrote to Dā,ūd Khān telling him what had happened, demanding justice and forwarding a small present. The answer he gave them was to go back to their houses, adding that he had written already to Mīr 'Usmān forbidding him to touch them. With this reply they were not fully satisfied, and they dissembled \[191\]. Mīr 'Usmān continued to invite them with polite speeches. Finally, becoming aware that they did not intend to return, he sent to say that if they did not come at once and reoccupy their houses he must knock down their flagstaff and destroy their houses along with the churches. This message threw them into a great fright. On going to bid farewell to the governor of this place (Madras), they received from him fifty soldiers as an escort half-way on their road. There they found the said Mīr 'Usmān, who had come thus far to receive them. Having done them this honour, he carried them to his house, where he gave them betel-leaf and rose-water. He threw over the chief captain a xalla (shawl) worth ten patacas (Rs. 20), and another over his father-in-law. After many friendly speeches he sent them home. - [Previous: 338.16.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.3) - [Next: 338.16.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.5) - [Up: 338.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.16.4) · Pramāṇa
